Pre-TURBT mitomycin-C improves RFS in NMIBC

In the updated 5-year analysis of a randomized phase II trial, administering two doses of intravesical mitomycin-C (MMC) immediately before transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) improves recurrence-free survival (RFS) in individuals with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
